"Be a Greek!" An invitation? A motto? More like a lifestyle that allowed us to live Athens as Greeks! It was our dream: Walking those streets not as simple tourists, but as inhabitants who cross their city immersing themselves in common life. Shops, markets, spices, smiles, perfumes... Greek coffee... Our life through coffee grounds! There are, perhaps, no words to be able to render the sympathy, helpfulness, Welcoming, competence of Bianca, our super escort. It was not a visit, but an immersion in a magical place. We walked the alleys of the heart of the city, Plaka, at the foot of the imposing Acropolis, tasting typical desserts such as Portokalopita with the delicious ice cream Mastiha, I Loukoumades... Breathing and living Athens to the full thanks to Bianca's presence. "Be a Greek!" It was just like that! Highly recommended!!
The tour was perfect. One thing we could mention is that we asked for a 3h tour but had to pay for the 4h fix journey. Our guide (John) made everything look fine in the end.
